The South Hams Way is a scenic circular walking trail of about 100 miles (163 km) around the South Hams area of South Devon, beginning and ending in the historic market town of Totnes. It weaves from the wild open moorland of Dartmoor National Park into the rolling wooded valleys of the South Devon National Landscape, then follows about 50 miles of the dramatic South West Coast Path from the Yealm estuary via Salcombe to Dartmouth, crossing five distinctive estuaries along the way.

The route starts on the bridge from the visitor center to the fields across the river. It then follows the standard hiking route up Ben Nevis to the top. It's an out and back route with the finish being at the same bridge.
